Whatever it is, the speeds ARE capped at 100kbps. ATT is the internet provider. Not very hard to come to the conclusion. If they are dealing with some issues, why not coming out clean and addressing the issue? As of right now, noone has the official statement from AT&T regarding this issue. But AI came out with a topic title like they had a lunch with the AT&T executives themselves... Funny.
I am getting huge upload speeds on my iPhone4. While 768k to 1500k are not nearly the max possible, they are higher then most DSL and cable lines. To say that the upload speed is faster then cable says a lot!

If it was a simple matter of artificial throttling then this should easily be done to affect all phones on all networks with essentially the flip of a switch. The idea that you think companies ever willingly come clean about a boondoggle they created means you aren’t experienced with the world and therefore likely very young.
How is it I am the only one with this magic iPhone? Note: These speeds up and down are well below what they were this morning and days prior, but it 6pm here.

PS: The two fastest download and upload speeds are when I touched my iPhone 4 in the 3G-Spot. Go figure!
Do you mind telling us whats the city you've done your testing. Then go to macrumors and realize that your city isn't listed there. There are over 30 cities in the U.S. that are affected with this problem.

Yes, I do mind. Your argument is they are actively throttling their uploads, that it can?t be a network issue, and you have yet to make a sensible argument as to why they would purposely be doing this in some areas but not all.
But seriously, would you mind explaining (whenver) how did you guys come up with that title, and where did you get your intel.
I appreciate your understanding.
You're assuming that this is affecting everyone, everywhere. This isn't the case. It's sporadic.
I just did my own test again. I went back to Optima Online, the NYC server. Last time, with them, I got absurd times. This time I got 974 download, and 125 upload. The upload is still low, but several times higher than before, and the download is almost 20 times faster.
So there is some problem here, but it also is dependent on the local server being used. With Speedtest, I find that choosing different servers gives me different speeds, sometimes several times as much. That's not AT&T's fault. Certainly not in the sense of something deliberately applied to the network.
As Mods, we have nothing to do with the reportage. Apparently, someone was spoken to about this, as the info was specific.

Seriously, you should read the whole post on macrumors forums before assuming that i think that everyone is affected.
AGAIN, there is a list with over 30 markets that is affected with upload speed issue. So, read the whole thing, then make the conclusion. There are about 350 posts on this issue, please do some reading, and inform yourself.

What are your latency speeds? I?m still floating at around 300ms, which is within the norm for this hour. I?m reading that these have been adversely affected which indicates congestion or some other network issue.

There are several hundred markets that AT&T serves. So what is 30? I know at least as much as you think you do about this, likely more. You should know by now, assuming that you're not a child, that posts on forums have little to do with the extent of a problem.

Don?t forget that it?s 350 posts on an internet forum. How could we have been so blind? It must be a deliberate attack on their customers¡

Tell that to hundreds of att users that expressed themselves on this topic. If this wasnt discussed on macrumors forum, we wouldnt have respectable sites like Engadget, Gizmodo, Tuaw, 9to5mac picking the story up and talking on this issue, and making some positive actions by contacting att and requesting the official statement.
Maybe you see it only as a forum nonsense, maybe that is how you want it to be, but the fact of the matter is that power of internet is much greater, and thanks to those sites, we may get some positive outcome pretty soon.

Melgross is experiencing it, too. The problem is your implied malfeasance by AT&T without a consideration of it being an accident, or some other occurrence.
That?s the problem with the internet. Even a pin drop can echo so loud and so long that you think it?s the the only thing that ever made a sound. Step out and look at the big picture.

We are talking about the lower speeds, conversed here as throttling. We are not talking about outages, others companies, landlines.
What software are you specifically talking about? Even so, ATT should have had a "backout procedure".
If that's the case, then why wasn't this tested after implementation? Sounds like poor implementation methods now that you bring all this up!
You seem to think that slower speeds are deliberate? How droll. Stop the trite accusations.
Ok, stop the trolling, or you're out.
Ok I won't comment anymore on the post.

You don?t have to be a network engineer to know that kind of variance and anything that high is a not right. Somebody messed up.
But who then is the dork who approved deployment of new software on the Friday before a holiday weekend??
That is just plain stupid.

It's far worse than usual. Some of the worst delays have seen the best speeds, and visa versa. Really odd all around.
I just tried again, and got latency of 3341, download of 776, and upload of 55.
Now I used a server from Philly, and got a latency of 2364, download of 974, and upload of 34.
Those upload numbers are so low, that there's got to be a major bottleneck somewhere.
Just for the heck of it, I used a server from Toronto. I got a DOWNLOAD of 72, but an upload of 136. What does THAT mean?
Now to dinner.
